“Joy was absolutely amazing with our dogs while we were away on vacation! From the moment we left, she kept us updated every single day with messages, photos, and details about how they were doing. Knowing our dogs were in such caring and attentive hands gave us complete peace of mind and allowed us to truly enjoy our trip. It’s clear that Joy genuinely loves animals and treats them like her own. Our dogs were happy, well cared for, and comfortable throughout their stay. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We are incredibly grateful for all of her care, communication, and professionalism. I highly recommend Joy to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving pet sitter. We will definitely be using her services again!”

“Ela was communicative and nothing but accommodating to every query or request. I can’t recommend her services enough as she made the whole experience of being away from our baby comfortable and reassuring. Arlo was regularly walked and taken to the park to socialise with other animals as well as clearly developing a loving relationship for Ela. Ela regularly updated us sent photos and videos as well. We will definitely be returning for her services!”

“Don is FANTASTIC! If I could give more than five stars, I absolutely would! Don communicates regularly, takes great care of my dog Dallas, make sure she gets walked and taken out regularly, and he is extremely skilled at dog training and boarding! He is willing to pick up and drop off your furry/fuzzy family member, he's flexible, and he sticks to any instructions that you might provide him about your animals diet, exercise regimen, etc! If you are looking to board or train your dog, send him or her to Don! Top notch service!!”

“Erin and Alex were amazing sitters for my pup, Phoebe. She can get a bit anxious but she immediately warmed up to both of them. Erin kept me updated throughout the stay with photos and texts. She was extremely professional, caring, and took extra special care of my girl. Phoebe was right at home when I arrived to pick her up and I could tell she had been well cared for.”

“Brandon is a total gem! He and Billy are both so kind and caring. My two pups took to them immediately and had a wonderful time. Brandon is a great communicator and provided timely updates. I had a little mix-up with my dates, and Brandon was so flexible and accommodating with the change. I can't recommend them enough and my two pups can't wait to stay with them again.”

“Jackson was amazing with Frankie! He took great care of her over the last few days, kept me updated with consistent communication, and sent the sweetest photos that put me at ease. You can tell he genuinely loves dogs and pays attention to the little things. Frankie came home happy, calm, and clearly very well cared for 🐾💛”

“Gloria was absolutely wonderful with my sweet puppy! I am an experienced rover sitter myself, and I will say I am impressed! Gloria’s attention to detail was amazing, and her communication skills were some of the best I have had with a pet sitter. My puppy came home extremely happy, she clearly received top notch care and a lot of love during her stay with Gloria! Thank you so much! I will 100% be booking again when I need a sitter.”

About: With a lifetime of hands-on experience caring for animals, I bring both knowledge and genuine compassion to every pet I look after. I’ve raised a wide variety of animals over the years, and from a young age I’ve always had a heart for helping—often taking in and caring for strays in need. Today, I continue that passion on my small ranch, where I care for animals daily and understand their unique needs, behaviors, and personalities. My experience includes feeding routines, basic health awareness, administering simple care, and creating a safe, calm environment for animals of all kinds. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, or needs a little extra attention, I’m patient and attentive to what makes them feel secure and happy. I also offer faith-based care, treating every animal with kindness, respect, and a sense of purpose. I believe in providing a peaceful, loving environment where your pet will feel at home and well cared for while you’re away. As a stay-at-home mom, I’m home throughout the day and able to give animals consistent care and attention. I check on them in the morning, midday, and evening to make sure they’re fed, comfortable, and getting the care they need. My daily routine allows me to provide a steady, safe, and attentive environment for every pet. I provide safe, reliable care by respecting each pet’s unique needs. I follow owner instructions closely, maintain a secure environment, and make sure every fur baby feels comfortable and cared for. You can have peace of mind knowing your animal is in trustworthy, compassionate hands.
“Joan and her husband Phil are wonderful. They took amazing care of Parker. Joan sent daily updates throughout his stay. It was his first time away from home and he had a great time. Highly recommend Joan”

“I have to say that Dijanna is the best! She took super good care of my dogs while I was away and sent me plenty of updates about them. I’m so very very grateful for her. I sincerely wish her a magnificent New Year of complete success in her every endeavor!!”
